The FAA has issued two TFRs for Valdez, Alaska. The first

06" North/146 degrees 23' 19" West. The second establishes a
25-nm-radius restricted area centered on Valdez/Pioneer Field

they are NOT centered on the same point. Within the 25-nm area,

"The government clearly has what it considers very real security
concerns during this period of heightened alert status," said AOPA

that, check notams at the last possible moment before departing,
and be aware that the situation may change while they're
airborne."
